Capt. James H. Callahan Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sad news indeed. We lost a good'un, that's for sure. Very likable pard. He taught my ROII class. Didn't know him that well personally, but was around him a good bit, esp. in Las Vegas when I was a TG. A big pair of boots to fill. Wonder if The Boss will let him wear that B Western stuff up on the home range??? Adio CC. Stake a claim out for us. I wish that summer could last forever That cold winds never would reach our door. I wish old partners could ride forever On summer ranges forevermore. But snow must fall on summer ranges. Old friends must face the bitter wind. But someday when the season changes On summer ranges we'll ride again. So let my farewell always warm you And make a sundance in your heart. May thoughts of parting never harm you For true partners never part. Snow must fall on summer ranges Old friends must face the bitter wind. But someday when the season changes On summer ranges we'll ride again. Michael Martin Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Moonshine Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 COYOTE CALHOUN, SASS #201 October 1951 – September 2011 SASS Headquarters, NM – Wild Bunch member and Hall of Fame inductee, Coyote Calhoun, AKA Lamar Shelnutt, passed away suddenly September 20th while attending to business at SASS’ New Mexico Headquarters. He had assumed many of the major SASS business responsibilities for the past few years. Coyote Calhoun was the SASS National Programs Director and Marketing Director. He was a co-founder of the Shootout at Mule Camp, the first SASS Regional Championship, and, as a member of the Magnificent Seven, received the SASS Spirit Award in 1999. Coyote began working for SASS in 1999, bringing consistency and enthusiasm to the SASS National Shooting Program. He was part of the development of the SASS Range Operations Safety Courses and served on the SASS Range Operations Committee. He was an outspoken advocate of the “B” Western shooting category. In 2004, Coyote received the prestigious “Top Hand” award and was inducted into the Cowboy Action Shooting™ Hall of Fame in 2009. Coyote’s enthusiasm, energy, and creativity have been vital to SASS and will surely be missed. The Wild Bunch and SASS staff offer sincere condolences to the family. Funeral arrangements are pending at this time, but will be announced as soon as available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImaDarlin Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I just heard the sad news about Coyote Calhoun, when a friend called me. He was one of the first people I remember meeting in SASS and I always shot on his posse at all the monthly matches here and the shoots the group of people I used to shoot with traveled to. I was there when Coyote Calhoun won his Spirit of the Game award, we both won it the same year and we both kept kelling each other we didn't deserve it. Lamar (CC) pionerred the trail of the Southeastern shooting matches, he helped make Mule Camp possible and helped work the match with the rest of us, he was a good friend, and all my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, his wife Kay, and the girls! CC will certainly be missed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone knows that my best friend in the whole world is Ima Peach, I grew up shooting with her and the gang we all hung out with... one day while at a shoot her husband fell, he had had a heart attack and she was scared to death, she was falling apart but it was CC who held her together and who stayed with her and took her husband and her to the hospital, he never left their side, although he had phneumonia... he saved my best friend's husband that day.. he saved his life. She and I will always be grateful for his kindness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Lily Kate, SASS #1000 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hello All: I just talked to Kay. She is holding up as well as can be expected .... much better than I think I would be. In any event, she says the Medical Examiner must perform an autopsy; then prepare Coyote for burial; then fly him home to Georgie. The earliest that will be is probably Friday. She promied to keep me informed on services. Please keep Kay, Katie, Blair and the rest of your family in thoughts and prayers.
